tessies

Oh and I got a yeast infection too...that was awesome. So I also went on diflucan.

And I had a bad taste with a white film on my tongue, before I went and saw my bariatric doc I thought it was dehydration but all my labs were perfect and I looked great.

I had thrush after surgery my bariatric doc said it was from the antibiotic and having 85% of my stomach removed compromised my immune system. He gave me a mouthwash and I started eating Greek yogurt to rebalance my stomachs PH, yes it is true it generally happens with a compromised or weak immune system but being on that antibiotic and the stomach removal my system was pretty compromised.

Thank you everyone!!

Pre-op 272 Surgery day 258 Current 224 Surgery date 2/25/13 Height 5'8

I went with Dr. Garcia too. Tried Dr. Ponce but response time was super slow and when I finally got the medical questionnaire Trish sent me one already filled out with someone's personal and medical info on it. Didnt like that!!

Is that 27lbs including your pre op diet?

You look amazing!! I started at 258 day of surgery. You really look great! You should be so proud!

What was your starting weight? You look awesome!!

How much did you lose pre op? What was your starting weight? You look awesome!

I am so sorry Amy. I hope you start feeling better real soon!

Well considering I have been starving since day 4 of post op I can definitely feel a difference. For sure!!

I am 3 weeks and 1 day post op and I noticed my hunger is starting to taper off....it's very interesting. Haven't lost a pound in 8 days but my hunger is tapering.......

Hey how are you feeling? I take my Prilosec whole every morning.

Got on the scale this morning and 20lbs down from surgery! Exactly 2 weeks from the day of my surgery, that makes 32lbs all together!! I'm so excited.

I would ask Dr Luna he told me to take nothing like that for 4 weeks. Drinking my protein I'm not backed up that's for sure.

Amy I had the same pain. It would take my breath away. I up my gas x and cut out my sugar free fudgesicles. Never had the issue again!! So check your diet see if there is anything you have added new.
